    Jiankang, Imperial Palace.

    "How could this happen? How could they fail like this? Fan Yi and Sima Xiaonan are really useless. They succeed more than they fail. Wu Mingche has such a great reputation. I didn't expect him to be so vulnerable. It's such a waste of fame. I  I really regret letting him lead the army, ugh.¡±

    Sima Fu clenched his fists tightly, his face was full of indignation, and his eyes were full of worry. It was hard to imagine that his 300,000-strong army was defeated so easily by Gao Xing. Even Wu Mingche, the leader of the army, narrowly escaped with his life.  Come.

    When he thought of all the cities north of the Yangtze River that had been gained and lost, Gao Xing's 150,000 troops were eyeing him, gearing up, and might cross the river at any time. Not only were the people in Jiankang City frightened, but there were not many available soldiers. Sima Fu especially hated Gao Xing.  , but there was a haze of fear deep in my heart.

    In just over a month, Chen Guo lost 400,000 soldiers and horses, accounting for 30% of Chen Guo's total military strength. At first glance, it seems that Chen Guo still has the strength to fight, but this is not the case.

    Not to mention that the remaining troops and horses were scattered everywhere, and it took a long time to mobilize them. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were much worse than the troops and horses lost in Xing Xing's hands. What's more, Sima Fu had just ascended to Dabao, and his foundation was unstable.  If he really wanted to mobilize the whole country to fight Gao Xing to the death, the outcome would be unpredictable, and it would most likely lead to endless disasters, so he didn't dare to take the risk.

    In addition, there is another news that worries Sima Fu. Three days ago, the Emperor of Qi happily ordered the removal of Wang Lin, Commander-in-Chief of the Third Army, and appointed him Commander-in-Chief of the Qi Navy, responsible for the establishment of the navy and the response to the campaign.  affairs.

    ??As for Chen Guo, from the civil and military officials to the traders and soldiers, not many people knew Wang Lin's name. Wang Lin grew up in the south and is now the commander-in-chief of the Qi Navy. The reason for his happiness is self-evident.

    Sima Fu would not be so naive as to think that the navy and navy were two different things. He had trouble sleeping and eating since receiving the news.

    "Fire King, what do you think we should do now? I'm glad we won't really cross the river." Sima Fu looked at the Fire King of the Holy Fire Cult in front of him and said worriedly.

    "Your Majesty, it is not impossible for the Lord of Qi to lead troops to the south because he is happy and aggressive, but I think it is unlikely." Compared to Sima Fu, the Fire King's expression was much calmer.

    "How do you say this?" Sima Fu perked up and looked at Sima Fu with burning eyes, looking a little anxious.

    The Fire King looked at Sima Fu and sighed secretly in his heart. Compared with Gao Xing, Sima Fu was far different. His martial arts, intelligence, and character were all incomparable. Judging from the current situation, Sima Fu wanted to unify the Central Plains and restore the  The past glory of the Jin Dynasty was full of difficulties. It was good to be able to settle down and hold on to this hard-won foundation.

    Being born in the same era as Gao Xing was really his misfortune and the misfortune of the Sima family.

    Putting aside the thoughts in his heart, the Fire King said: "Your Majesty, although the Qi army has won successive victories and is as powerful as a rainbow, as the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies and damaging ourselves eight hundred, we have suffered heavy losses, and the Qi people are not without any injuries.

    If Gao Xing wants to cross the Yangtze River, he will inevitably annex our country completely. Otherwise, he will only occupy one city and half of the pond. He cannot hold it for long due to the natural dangers of the Yangtze River.  Jiang Zhengzhan may not be able to handle it.

    The Qi State established a navy, firstly, to prepare for crossing the river in the Second World War, and secondly, to intimidate us. Gao Xing is by no means an arrogant and arrogant person. If the navy is not good, he will not be able to cross the river easily, but we must also be on guard.  "

    Sima Fu¡¯s face became calmer, and he frowned and asked, ¡°Does King Fire mean that we set up defenses on the Yangtze River to prevent a surprise attack?¡±

    "No." Fire King shook his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, for this reason we'd better admit defeat to Gao Xing."

    "What." Sima Fu stood up suddenly, looked at Fire King in shock, and said loudly: "Fire King, what are you talking about? How could we surrender so easily? This will only increase the enemy's arrogance and disrupt the morale of the army. When the time comes, the country will fall apart.  How can we talk about unifying the Central Plains? Could it be that you are old and greedy for life and fear death, and are afraid of just a child with a yellow mouth?" When he said it later, Sima Fu's tone was very stern and full of anger.

    "How could Sima Fu, a noble man, surrender without a fight? Even if his head fell to the ground on the slopes of Jiankang City, he would not surrender.

    The Fire King's expression was very calm. He was neither guilty nor ashamed, nor was he angry because of Sima Fu's scolding. He just looked at the latter calmly and said calmly: "Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said about admitting defeat is only a temporary solution, not a temporary solution."  Happy to surrender.¡±

    Sima Fu snorted coldly, looked at the Fire King sternly and said, "Say."

    "Your Majesty, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. As far as the country is concerned, personal honors and disgrace are nothing. In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was trapped on Baishan Mountain for seven days and nights for the Huns. He almost died. Later, he made peace with the Huns and endured humiliation in exchange for  The development time of the Han Dynasty.

      The enemy is strong today and we are weak. Your Majesty, it is better to show weakness to the enemy and recuperate. When our troops and horses are strong in the future, why not avenge today?  "

    Sima Fu¡¯s expression kept changing, his brows wrinkled and relaxed, relaxed and wrinkled again. He repeated this for a long time before regaining his composure. His voice was hoarse and difficult as he said, ¡°Fire King, do we have no other choice besides this method?¡±

    "have."

    Sima Fu was overjoyed, but before he could speak, the Fire King's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his heart.

    "Other methods have less than a 10% chance of winning, and failure may result in the destruction of the Chen Kingdom."

    Looking at Sima Fu, who looked uncertain, the Fire King said again: "If the emperor can persuade the Lord of Zhou to send troops, unite with the Turks, and mobilize the whole country to attack Qi, we naturally don't have to be afraid and happy, but the Qi army is all elite, and the weapons are even more advanced.  It¡¯s so sharp that we have no way to deal with it.¡±

    Sitting down heavily, Sima Fu had a bitter look on his face. It was so difficult to unite the Zhou Kingdom and the Turks again, not to mention that all three parties had suffered heavy losses and had no strength to go out to conquer Qi.

    The Fire King said again: "Your Majesty, there are still 50,000 elite soldiers and generals in Nanqiaozhou, which are hard to buy for a lot of gold. If we succeed in negotiating with Qi State, firstly, we can allow them to return safely, and secondly, Qi State will have no excuse to go south."

    In a battle, each division must have its own reputation. Chen Guo took the lead in provocation and wrongdoing first. Qi Guo naturally had the name to send troops. If the two sides negotiated a truce and signed a contract, and Qi Guo introduced troops to invade, Chen Guo would be on the side of justice.  , it is good for the people's morale, and once the contract is signed, Qi State can no longer send troops at will, and Chen State can develop with peace of mind.

    After being silent for a full quarter of an hour, Sima Fu spoke again, his eyes blood red, and he said in a low and depressed tone: "Fire King, it's up to you, but the fifty thousand troops of Nan Qiaozhou must be returned to me if you like, otherwise even if you fail,  I will also fight him to the death."

    Chen Guo's surrender was expected by Gao Xing. It was not that Gao Xing did not have the ability to capture Chen Guo in one fell swoop. However, the opportunity was not available at this time. The cost of doing so was too high and the hidden dangers were not small. Otherwise, how could Gao Xing continue to trap Nan Qiaozhou?  Waiting for the envoy from Chen Guo.

    The situation was over, and Wu Mingche could only open the city and surrender. Fortunately, Gao Gao was not a narrow-minded person. The Qi army had strict military discipline, so he did not suffer any humiliation. Just looking at Wang Lin's high-spirited look, he felt extremely complicated.

    Gao Gao did not receive Chen Guo's envoys, but left the conditions and asked Wang Lin to be responsible for the negotiations, then quietly left the military camp and rushed to Jinzhou.

    Sima Fu had trouble sleeping and eating, and Yuwen Yun also felt sorry for him. Compared with Chen Guo's tragic defeat, Zhou Guo's situation seemed to be more serious.

    Since Yuwen Yong¡¯s Eastern Expedition, the Zhou Kingdom has lost nearly 600,000 troops and horses, and those famous generals have also fallen one by one. Looking at it, there are not many civil and military officials in the dynasty who can stand alone.

    It was not that Yu Wenyun had not thought about the consequences of failure before attacking Qi, but he did not expect that with the combined power of the three kingdoms, they would still be defeated so completely and so quickly. Gao Xing was obviously not a good person to be with, otherwise he would not be interested in Chen Guo.  They are aggressive towards each other, and Zhou and Qi are feuding states. How could Gao Xi miss this great opportunity?

    Not only that, news also came from the west that Tuyuhun and Dangxiang, who had been defeated by Zhou State, were also ready to move and had the intention of leading their army eastward. Even the small Liang State began to violate the law. Yuwen Yun even suspected that they had colluded with Qi State.  , The Kingdom of Zhou is currently in a precarious situation, and if you are not careful, you may be in danger of losing your country.

    "Zheng Aiqing, what's happening in Qi State now?" Yu Wenyun frowned and looked at Zheng Yi.

    "Back to the emperor, I was happy to defeat Chen General Wu Mingche and did not do anything else. He just appointed Wang Lin as the commander-in-chief of the navy, prepared to build a naval force, and seemed to be preparing to cross the river to attack Chen State." Zheng Yi's face was not good either, although he had second thoughts.  However, if the Zhou Kingdom was destroyed by Gao Xing, he would not benefit much.

    Yu Wenyun was obviously relieved, took a sip of tea, and said: "Dong Guo of Tang Dynasty has arrived in Shizhou (today's Jiange, Sichuan), and there may have been any changes between Dangxiang and Tuyuhun."

    "The Duke of Tang has arrived in Shizhou and is training his troops day and night. The party members should be afraid of the emperor's reputation and dare not act rashly for the time being."

    "That's good." Yu Wenyun rubbed his brows, paused, and was about to speak when a report from a guard suddenly came from outside the palace.

    "Eight hundred miles urgent, jade bi battle report."

    Both Yu Wenyun and Zheng Yi were shocked. The former stood up suddenly and knocked over the tea cup on the table without realizing it.

    "Come in quickly, what's going on in Yubi City?"

    "Reporting to the Emperor, two days ago the Lord of Qi was happy to lead an army of 150,000 across the border and arrived at Yubi City in Xunzhou, our country."

    Not caring about arrogance, Zheng Yi asked: "Have the people of Qi ever attackedcity.  "

    "No, but the Qi people are coming with great force and have all the siege equipment available."

    Yu Wenyun's heart tightened, his face turned earth-colored, and he murmured: "What should come has finally come, what should I do, what should I do?"

    Yuwen Yun was panicked, and Zheng Yi was not much better. Gao Xing's name was really terrible. Zhou Guo had fought with him for three years without winning a single victory. You can imagine the pressure Gao Xing brought to them.

    Soon, Zheng Yi calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. Back then, Gao Huan was so powerful and invincible that he still drank hatred under Yubi City. Now General Yang Jian leads an army of 200,000 to guard Yubi City. I am happy to think that.  Breaking the city is no easy task.¡±

    Yu Wenyun took a deep breath, sat down again, and said solemnly: "Summon the civil and military officials to discuss this matter."
